Garrett Camp is a Canadian entrepreneur who co-founded StumbleUpon, a web-discovery platform, and Uber, an on-demand car service available via a mobile application. A true innovator at heart, he plans to help found more companies in future and has created Expa as a new platform for future companies. Born to enterprising parents who quit their respective jobs to embark on a new career as design/build team, Camp believes in taking calculated risks in order to grow as a businessman. From having attended a small school as a young boy, he moved on to the University of Calgary for a degree in electrical engineering. While at the university, he decided to start a company and teamed up with three like-minded friends. The friends came up with several business ideas and ultimately decided to go with the concept of a discovery engine that would find web content for its users. Thus StumbleUpon was born. The company took off and its early success helped the founders in raising adequate funding from angel investors. While serving as the CEO of StumbleUpon, Camp came up with the idea for Uber which he co-founded in 2009.
Camp was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His father was an economist, and his mother an artist, and both later became home builders. He later earned a master’s degree in software engineering, researching collaborative systems, evolutionary algorithms and information retrieval.

Camp formed Expa in 2013, integrating his ten years of start-up experience into a system for building new companies. Expa is a startup studio to create and launch new companies by providing early-stage startups with starting capital, a workspace, and technical advice. Companies that partner with Expa work from offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver or, most recently, London. In March 2014, Expa raised its first $50 million from investors to fund the design and development of new companies. In March 2016, Expa raised an additional $100 million to fund the creation of new startups. Expa has helped to build and launch a number of companies, including Mix.com, Haus.com and Cmd.com, among others.

Camp is currently working on a cryptocurrency he calls Eco. Camp is striving to make it a digital global currency that facilitates daily transactions between businesses as a form of payment in order to improve commonly occurring issues with digital currencies. Eco also aims to be the most energy efficient currency in terms of transaction verification and token generation.
Camp has joined The Giving Pledge, a commitment to give away half of his wealth to charity.
